Hi,
I have a laptop which I want to connect to my Orac from 1983 for making/storing programs.
The laptop has only USB-ports and the Orac has seriel RS232 (?) port.

Is it possible to use a converter between the PC and Orac for for transferring data?
(In both directions)

Any suggestions for brand/type? Experiance?

Thanks for any hints.

Its all a bit hit and miss

We have found some work and others do not.

Any brand we would have tested will probably be obsolete. I am sure there is an artical on the forum about a recomended converter.

I think you just have to get one and try it out

Good Luck!
